The ones you really can't stand Son of Sun is optional but easily the worst part of Chrono Trigger. Such a stupid fight. That stupid spider in Metroid Fusion That even stupider spider in Mega Man X The completely unfair genie boss in Gauntlet: Dark Legacy

Yeah, well, I'm a big dum-dum and can't do it that fast. Rangda Bangda (the face one) is super neat looking, but it always gave me a hard time when I was younger, too.

I played Ys 1 some time ago to find out what's the series is all about and both the first and last boss suck poo poo. They just feel unpredictable and cheaty.AngryRobotsInc posted:Ugggggh, Bospider is the worst. I've had so many people be all "It's a really easy puzzle! Just figure out where it can't land."

Metal Sonic and MechaRobotnik at the end of Sonic 2. Metal Sonic is pretty easy but the hitbox on MechaRobotnik is so tiny and having no rings is torture

It wasn't until this year when playing Castlevania 3 where I finally found a faultless strategy to take out that loving doppleganger boss who just really likes faking you out as to where they jump.

Robotnik at the end of Ice Cap Zone in Sonic 3. gently caress that guy. I made sure I was always Super Sonic at that point because I hated it so much. Robotnik at the end of Sonic Spinball. gently caress you and your socks flinging me back outside the ship. As an adult now I understand that there's a sequence to learn but when I was a dumb kid I didn't figure that out. Demon's Gate in FFVII, again as a kid I was usually underlevelled and he would kick my arse. Sweet revenge playing as an adult now though. The final boss in Revenge of Shinobi. That and the truck/train thing with the bombs on it.

The secret boss from Demon's Crest. Holy poo poo that fight is slog. The fight is hard enough on it's own, but he just has so much health it's just a game of attrition.

Shadow Link in OoT's Water Temple. I give up on fighting him fairly with my sword and just Din's Fire him to death every time. Nine-Ball in most Armored Core games, but especially the first one - Generally speaking, Nine-Ball is specifically programmed to have every single 'hack' in the game imaginable. For example:
In some of the games, you can fight him in an arena with a low ceiling which negates most of his advantages (because he can't go airborne forever, it's a lot easier to target him and you can outlast him in a war of attrition). But he gets a special mention in the first game because his appearance there is extreme levels of bullshit. Nine-Ball only appears in the last mission, but he appears twice and he initially appears after one of the most tedious platforming sections in an early 3D game ever. You'll also take some damage before getting to him, so you never quite get to fight him when you're at 100% (which further ratchets up the difficulty). Anyways, when you take him on in the final stage, you will lose. The area you fight him in is especially well-suited to his advantages (the ceiling is very, very high) and the moment he sees you he starts making GBS threads grenades which will take at least 10% of your health (much more if you're in a Light AC). What the game doesn't communicate to you however is that the Sir Robin strategy works - if you just run away and try to head for the end of the level, you can usually get away from him. Not content to let you get away with that though, there are actually two Nine-Balls in the final level. After running away from the first one, you'll enter an area where there is a second one waiting for you. It really is a second one, too - if you destroy the first Nine-Ball, this one will still be there waiting for you. Needless to say, this was very frustrating for me to overcome as a teenager. Eventually, running away from both was the strategy that won the day.

That loving Antlion boss on Sonic 2 for Game Gear is literally impossible due to the way the screen is cropped. Also Vargas in the SNES version of Final Fantasy 6, I was a dumbass child who couldn’t figure out how Blitz worked for a decade. There’s also a Tarantula boss in Lufia 2 I never figured out before I had to return the game to blockbuster

Is there a worse boss than the wall crash bomb one in Mega Man 2? I think that might actually be the worst boss design in history.LuiCypher posted:Shadow Link in OoT's Water Temple. I give up on fighting him fairly with my sword and just Din's Fire him to death every time. I'm honestly not sure what they were going for here. They set up this awesome sword duel and then you can't use your sword because he just perfect counters it every time, and you have to use whatever big heavy weapons you have instead because the AI doesn't react to it. Like, maybe that was the idea? Outsmart your equal by using outside-the-box weapons? Doesn't seem right. An actual proper sword fight there would have been amazing.

bradzilla posted:Metal Sonic and MechaRobotnik at the end of Sonic 2. Sonic 3's final boss was harder if you didn't have rings. The only saving grace was you had the opportunity to collect loads in Act 2 of Launch Base Zone as well as a useful shield. If you're Super Sonic you need at least 100 rings or else you run out by the time you get to the platform.

It made the game chuggy, wasn't clear, design was poo poo AND you needed a special weapon. It's not that hard when you know what to do, but holy hell is it a combo of bad ideas.

the Bloody Mary boss in Terranigma was so ridiculous (I think it took over 200 hits to kill her) that I almost quit the game over it, and according to google/youtube I am not alone. there's people who do speedruns of just that bossfight because of how ridiculous it is. I think it took me over half an hour to beat her in realtime (not including deaths or anything). that poo poo sucked.

What the hell, me and my friends only ever knew about hitting him on the belly. I remember literally praying for the person that was playing to be able to beat it. We never did. Where else can you hit him?

I think only like 10 people ever got that far but the last boss in Thousand Arms (THE DARKNESS) was mega-trash. He had an ability to freeze you in a crystal and heal himself.

FactsAreUseless posted:How many good MMX games even are there? 1 and 2? X1/4/8 are good, X2 is okay but not great, X3/5/6 are varying degrees of not hot, and while I like X7, it's....its own beast and troubled. The Xtreme games are good if you are alright with "downgraded for GBC" versions of X1-3, and Command Mission is a decent enough RPG.

Its base goal is to make Zero fully playable, but it also fixes a lot of the stuff that makes the game not all that good. I'd go so far as it takes the game from bottom tier for me, to up with the good ones.

Ah, misread then! Still, if you haven't, give that hack a go sometime. I don't think it changes any boss patterns, but it does fix a lot of issues. Like making the underwater ride armor not The Worst.
